Chapter 609: Unexpected
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
In the forever pitch-black sky of my world, there were no clouds, yet this place was forever shrouded in darkness. The faint golden tower in the distance was the only source of light. Unfortunately, this light was far too faint to serve as lighting, and could only indicate direction.
The sky was black, and the ground was also black. However, the strange part was that everyone could see quite far in here. Perhaps from the moment that someone entered my world, their physical sight would be replaced by soul vision.
“Wow, you actually had this with you? Others have grandpa spirits with them, but you have an entire world and a Main God?”Adam was indeed quite astonished to learn about my personal world. However, I felt like what he was commenting on seemed off…
“…Don’t mention it. I have more with me than just this, but nothing at all that’s easy on me.”
Other people who had Systems would have protagonist plot armor, using their cheat powers to fight bosses and swiftly level up. But my System? She enjoyed making me suffer every day, and 99% of my Fate Points ended up being exchanged for something useless. In the end, I discovered nothing but schemes within schemes. Not to mention, my reputation was entirely ruined thanks to us constantly trying to make things difficult for each other.
Every time that I met something good that seemed like a protagonist’s benefit, there would be a 90%, no, with my experience, 100% chance that it was some sort of trap or pitfall.
Having a grandpa spirit with you? I had a grandma spirit in my world, and if I wanted to be technical, she was a super senior who had indeed given me much information. But, Conservation betrayed me at a critical moment, and almost succeeded in killing me. Now, she had also become a boss monster that I needed to get rid of.
That was right, we were now grinding this boss fight, the Main God level Undead Emperor Conservation.
My unique bug-like world of Hell was highly important to me, not to mention my Yongye City castle. If Conservation took over this place and remained my enemy, this would also sever my connection to the Hell Gods. It would be the equivalent of having her hands around my throat.Since all the combat strength of my party had arrived, it was the time for us to clear out this underlying threat.
The fight against Conservation had already begun. However, we were all quite relaxed. Even Adam, our party’s tank, was quite free right now. There was a reason for this. Today, none of us were the main characters…
Although the sky in my Hell world remained dark, the black ground was covered in ice and flames.
On one side was a snow mountain and blizzards where countless undead roamed within. Frost dragons and small ice dragons acted as aerial troops in the sky. The constant outpouring of ice shards and snow were all part of the ice magic attacks.
Amongst all the undead and ice was a giant skeleton constructed out of crystallized ice and snow. He was so tall that his head reached the clouds. Inside his skeletal bones was a small snow-white pagoda, where the Undead Emperor sat down while wearing her extravagantly beautiful clothing.
The other side of the battleground in my world was covered in a sea of flames. Magma was spreading everywhere and covered all the ground.
Uncountable fire elemental creatures were leaping around in the sea of magma. The moment that they jumped out, the flame sea would bestow them with magma armor and fire weapons. The next instant, these fire elemental creatures would laugh manically as they charged at the ice creatures and the undead.
Amongst all the low-level, mid-level, and high-level fire elemental creatures, three giant beasts commanded the most attention.
The leading one appeared like an abyssal beast constructed out of flames. His four hooves tore apart the ground, and volcanos were erupting on its gigantic body. His blood-red eyes were filled with hatred.
His weapons were a fire-wreathed greatsword and an Inferno Demon whip. Every time he wielded his whip, the ground would split apart as more magma and fire elemental creatures poured out. Anyone who was familiar with this individual would be able to recognize him and his two pieces of God Equipment—Ladvioka, the Lord of Putrefaction.
The next beast was quite a nostalgic blast from the past. This was Kakajil, who had led his army before to attack Sulfur Mountain City. He was still carrying the same God Equipment lamp as before, except that this time, manically laughing flame skeletons jumped out from within to self-destruct amid their enemies.
The final beast was rather unfamiliar to me. It was a gigantic tortoise lizard covered in flames. He was twice as large as Ladvioka. His entire gigantic body was a living volcano, and each part of his body was as sturdy as a mountain. He didn’t walk around, as he simply remained where he was and locked onto his enemy with a single eye.
A single horn was on his forehead, where a castle could be seen. The master of this flame army was residing in that castle.
I had never seen this beast before, but myths and legends had told of his name and image—this was the ancient Fire Elemental God, Arolaweiss.
“She’s now Main God power level?”
Adam had a rather complex expression. I knew that he wasn’t referring to Undead Emperor Conservation, since it was no secret that Conservation had already achieved Main God power level. He was referring to the woman that both of us were highly familiar with.
“…It’s difficult to say. There’s no set power level to determine if someone’s at Main God power level. At any rate, anyone who’s capable of easily suppressing powerful Gods will be at Main God level. But, judging from this situation, even if she’s not at Main God level yet, she’s not far from it. Right, Margaret, how does it feel to have your disciple surpass you in all areas?”
“Rather complex. I feel that you should be the one who finds this more difficult to accept.”
I could only nod silently. The powerful existence on top of the tremendous beast was the half-demon whom I viewed like a daughter—Elisa.
“…Although her Devourer ability seems quite ridiculous, more ridiculous is probably Fate itself. Perhaps she will break the record that Karwenz set of becoming the youngest Main God in history.”
A bleeding dragon head was violently fighting against a black beast. These two beast heads furiously fought against each other until the last moment, finally forming an imprint of the two beasts biting at each other. That was Elisa’s Soul Imprint, Devourer.
The was a unique Soul Imprint that was the perfect representation of Chaos—the strong preying on the weak, where only the strong survived and evolved by feasting on the flesh and blood of the weak!
“As long as the element is appropriate, all power that the host can handle can be devoured. This is truly a cheat-like ability. She was given an easy ticket to the top right after entering Legend rank. The will of the Chaos Abyss… Cynthia truly spoiled Elisa. It’s lucky that Cynthia isn’t here anymore. Otherwise, I truly couldn’t rest assured.”
Nine years ago, right when she entered Legend rank, Elisa devoured the Fire Elemental God and a Demon Earl’s heart in order to obtain the power to control her own fate. Demons’ hearts were the crystallization of all their power. Elisa, who had the favor of the Chaos Abyss itself, used these two miraculous Chaos resources to successfully improve to Demon Duke power level, breaking all records of how quickly a demon could level up.
Seven years ago, during the battle of Hell, I had worked so hard to slay the Main God Ladvioka, the Lord of Putrefaction. The best spoils of war I received was Ladvioka’s demon heart as he was the strongest Inferno Demon in existence. In order to protect Elisa from Karwenz, I had directly given this heart to Elisa to devour at the time.
“An ancient Fire Elemental God, a fire element Demon Earl, and a Demon Main God who’s the strongest Inferno Demon. It’s almost as if Fate itself is trying to help her achieve the peak…”
I had no idea how strong Elisa currently was now. This was because the weak would be unable to determine the true power level of the strong. Correct—Elisa was now far stronger than I was.
I only knew that her current strength had already far surpassed that of ordinary Demon Lords and powerful Gods. Judging from how it seemed that she was having an equal fight against Main God power level Conservation, Elisa definitely wasn’t far from achieving Main God power level herself.
“I heard that she was working hard at cultivation back at the Land of Spring. She asked the Titans and the Hell Gods to teach her. Still, I never expected that she could achieve so much. I no longer have anything I can teach her.” Margaret was quite satisfied as well as regretful. As Elisa’s magic teacher, she had taught such a powerful disciple. Yet, Elisa hadn’t walked the path of magic in order to achieve her power level. Margaret probably felt quite complex inside.
“…If she had been serious earlier and brought out her true power level, we probably wouldn’t have had to run away from Donatis earlier.”
However, I shook my head. I could understand pretty well why Elisa had chosen to hide her true power level. Even if we had won and killed Donatis, we wouldn’t have obtained much apart from attracting even more dangerous amounts of attention.
It was quite within reason that Elisa would hide her true power. This would be a sudden trump card that very few would know about.
In a critical battle, an unexpected trump card could yield important results. However, casually leaking information about such a trump card for the sake of a coincidental battle with no benefits involved would be quite foolish.
Additionally, she suddenly revealed her true power level here because she wanted to show it to me, along with the fact that this was a sealed off world where information wouldn’t possibly leak.
“I can finally stand by your side…”
I didn’t even know how to reply to Elisa’s sudden words…
Harloys suddenly jumped onto my shoulder at this moment.
“Princess Peach, if she tries to force you to bed her, will you be able to resist?”
At this moment, my complex feelings became even more difficult to describe.
